Our baby got me into an awful scrape once the time 1 blacked it. , But I didn't blame it so much that time, because, after all, it was partly my fault; .but now it baa gone and done one of the meanest things a baby ever did, and came very near ruining me. it has been a long time since mother and Sue said they would never trust me to take care of the baby again, but the other day they wanted awfully to go to a funeral. It was a funeral of one of their best friends, and there was to be lots of flowers, and they expected to see lots of people, and they said they would try me once more. They were going to be gone about two hours, ana I was to take care of the baby till they came home again. Of course I said I would do my best, and so 1 did ; only when a boy trie to do his bet, he is sure to get himself into trouble, llow many a time and olt have I found this to be true! Ah! this is indeed a hard and hollow world. The last thing Sue said when she went out the door was, "Now be a good boy; if you play any of your tricks I'll let you know." I wish Mr. Traverse would marry her, and take her to China. I don't believe in sisters anyway. They h'adn't been gone ten minutes when the baby woke up and cried, and I knew it did it on purpose. Now I had once read in an old magazine that if you put molasses on a. baby's lingers, and give it a feather to 'ty with, it will try to pick that feather off, e .id amuse itself, and keep quiet for ever so long. I resolved to try it; so . I went straight down stairs and brought up the big molasses jug out of the cellar. Tnen I made a hole in one of mother's pillows, and pulled out a good handful of feathers. The baly stopped crying as soon as it saw what I wn at, and so led me on, just on purpose to tret me into trouble. "Well, I put a little molasses on the baby's hands, and put the feathers in its lap, and told it to be good and play real pretty. The baby began to play with the feathers, just as the magazine said it would, so I thought I would let it enjoy itself while I went up to my room to rend a little while. That baby never made a sound for ever so long, and I was thinking how pleased mother and Sue would be to find out a mw plan for keeping it quiet. I just let it er.jiiy itseif till about ten minutes before the time when they were to get back from the funeral, and then I went down to mother's room to look after the "little innocent," as Sue calls it. .Much innocence there is about that baby. I never saw such an awful spectacle. That baby had got hold of the molasses jug, which held moru'n a gallon, and had upset it and rolled all over in it. The feathers had stuck to it so close that you couldn't hardlv see its face, and its head looked just like a chicken's head. You wouldn't believe how that molasses had spread over the car pet. It seemed as if about half the room was covered with it. And there sat that wretched "little innocent" laughing to think how I'd catch it when the folks came home. Now wasn't it my duty to wash that baby, and get the feathers and molasses off it? Any sensible person would say that it was. I tried to wa-sh it in the wash basin, but the leathers kept sticking on again as fait as I got tbeji otT. So I took it to the bath tub and turned the water on, and held the baby right under the stream. The feathers were gradually getting rinsed away, and the molasses was coming off beautifully, when something happened. The water made a good deal of noise and I was standing with my back to the bath, room door, so that I did not hear anybody come in. The first thin I knew Sue snatched the baby away, and gave me ut-h a box over the ear. Then she screamed out, 'Ma! come hear, this wicked boy is drowning the baby. O you little wretch, won't you catch it for this." Mother came tunning up stairs, and they carried the baby into mother's room to dry it. You should have heard what they said when Sue slipped and sat down in the middle of the molasses, and cried out that her best dress was ruined, and mother saw what a state the carpet was in I I wouldn't repeat their language for worlds. It was persona!, that's what it was, and I've been told fifty times never to make personal remarks. I should not have condescended to notice it it mother hadn't begun to cry; and of course I wem aim fcaiu 1 was awiuuy ourry, niiu mat I meant it all for the best, and wouldn't have hurt the baby for anything, and begged her to forgive me and not cry any more. "When father carne home they told him all about it. I knew very well they would,, and I just lined myself with shingles so as to be good and ready. But he only said, ,4My son, I have decided to try milder measures with you. I think you are punished enough when you reflect that you have made your mother cry." That was all, and I tell you I'd rather a hundred timf-s lave had him say, "My son, come up stairs with me." And now if you don't admit thit nothing could be meaner than the wy that baby acted, I shall really be surprised and shocked. Something About Fans. Harper's Yoaog Folks.) Kan Si was the first lady who carried a fan. She lived in ages which are past, and for the most part, forgotten, and she was the daughter of a Chinese Ai andarin . Who ever saw a Mandarin, even on a tea-chest, without his fan? In China and Japan to this day every one has a fan; and there are fans of all sorts for everybody. The Japanese waves his fan at you when he meets you by way of greeting, and the beggar who

solicits alma has the exceedingly small coin made on purpose" for charity, presented to him on the tip of a fan. In ancient times, among the Greeks and Romans, fans seem to have been enormous. They were generally made of feathers and carried by slaves over the heads of their mator and mistresses, to protect them from the sun, or waved about before them to stir the air. Catherine de Medicis carried the first folding fan ever seen in France; and in the time of Louis XIV., the fan was a gorgeous thine, otten covered with jewels and worth

a small fortune. In Kngland they were the fashion in the time ot Henry VIII. All his many wives carried them. A ian set in diamonds was once given Queen Elizabeth upon New Year's day. The Mexican feather fans which Cortez bad from Montezuma were marvels of beauty; and in Spain a large black fan is the favorite. It is said that the use of the fan is as carefully taught in that country as any other branch of education, and that by a well-known code of signals a Spanish lady can carry on a long conversation with any one, especially an admirer. ' The Japanese criminal of rank is politely executed by means of a fan. On being sentenced to death he is presented with n fan, which he muft receive with a low bow, and as he bows, presto! the executioner draws his sword and cuts his head off. In fact, there is a fan for every occasion in Japan. Little folks Abroad. Tbera i noeircua tent, howVr much watched and tended. But nrda hiddi greater care; There it no hole, however well defeaded. But haa a small boy tbere. What is the first thing to be done in case of fire? 'asked Professor Stearns. "Suethe Insurance Company," promptly responded the Loy at the foot of the class. A little five-year-old, hearing his father say that a certain man was unable to "keep the wlf from the door," wanted to know why the man didn't shoot it. Xorristown Herald. "When little Minnie was two years old she asked for some water one night. When it was brought, she said, "Pap cn't you get me some frfesh water? this tastes a little withered." Littie Artie came running in from the field one day exclaiming, 'Mal ma! I seed safim' down here that stioked his hudd(head) right dawn in his mouf.'' Investigation proved that he had found a mad-turtle. "It is easy to see," said the teacher to his put 51, "that vou don't understand the sub ject," 'Verv likely,'' returned the pupil, 'father told me only last week that ne aunt think it worth while to pay for the services of such an instructor." A New Jersey mother left her baby in charge of her three-year-old son. On coming back, she found the boy missing. The baby, however, was still there. The three-year-old had got two tacks and a hammer and tacked the baby's drees to the floor, alter which he went out to play. That is one of the boy, evidently, who "will be a rr an before his mother" knows it. How wonderful are the revelations of science. It has been estimated that a boy can hear a call to dinner, though half a mile away, in a thousandth part of a second. But a call to duty. Well, we don't, wish to be hard on the boy, but it often takes a life time for him to understand it. New Haven Register.

An exchange says; ''A young lady resembles ammunition, because powder is needed before the ball." French definition. Clarionet: An instrument which makes those who listen to it deaf and those who piny it blind. Nature soldom makes a phool; she simply furnishes the raw materials and lets the fellow finish tne job to suit himself. The giraffe has never been known to utter a sound. In this respect it resmbles a young lady in a stre3t car when a gentleman gives her his seat. An old man who had been badly hurt in a railroad collision, being advised to sue the Company for damages, said: "Wal, no, not for damages, I've had enough of them; but I'll just sue 'em for repairs." The picnic season is approaching, which 'reminds us" of the honest Hibernian, who when asked if he had a pleasant time at the picnic, replied: "I'll not desave ye, sor; it was a dull time; not a black eye on the ground till afther 3 o'clock." A citizen of New Mexico being informed that, durine his absence, a panther had at tacked bis wife, and that she had beaten on J and küied tne animal, merely shrugged his shoulders and raid, "Ef that panther had knowed her as well as I do he'd never riled her up, you bet." A lady once requested Holland Hill to examine her son as a candidate for the Ministry, remarking, ! am sure be has a talent, but it is hid in a napkin." At the close of the interview with the young man, Mr. Hill said, ''Well, madam. I have shaken the napkin, and I can not find the talent.' 'Now, Johnny," said a Sunday school teacher to one of his pupils, "do you understand the meaning ot the third commandmandment'' Johnny was not quite sure. "Suppose, Johnny," said the teacher, "some bad boy in your neighborhood were to get angry at you and use the Lord's name, what would he do?" "Run like blazes or I would lick him," was the reply. A young man, pale and visibly agitated, hurriedly entered a Court treet drug store late one night last week and, accosting the clerk, said: "Give mean ounce of chlorate of potash, will you, as quick as you can?" Observing his perturbation the clerk ventured to ask: "What's your hurry?" "Why, I've been kissing our Sunday-school teacher sinee 9 o'clock, and she didn't tell me till ten minute ago that she was afraid she had diphtheria..

CONCERNING WOMEX.

Miss Flora Torrey Wastoff, the second woman lawyer in Kansas, has just been admitted to the Bar in that State. "If they think they can tire out my son James they don't know him that's all," observes the President's mother. Archbishop Whately: Woman is like the reed which bends to every breeze, tut breaks not in the tempest." Augusta Victoria, the bride of th'e young German Prince, drives through the streets of Berlin in A glass coach, within which she sits enrobed in a white wrap surmounted wuh swansdown and with beautiful white res fastened in her brown hair, making a very pretty picture. Mrs. A. L Quinby, of Cincinnati, O., has commenced the publication of an eight-page mot thly called the -r.gis "Woman's armor of defense." It is on good paper, and in clean tvre. Price $1 per year. We have seen one number, and are glad to ex tend the hand of fellowship to this earnest worker for the caute of women. Amone the mot remarkable wreaths laid uron the coffin of the late Czar was one of great beauty, inscribed: "To the Czar CivUizer." from the women doctors of Ituesia. Thirty ladies belonging to the medical profession in St. Petersburg and elsewhere unit ed in this tnbu'.e to the Sovereign under whom their sex was first freely permitted to practice the healing art in Europe. Miss Ellen Mackay Hutchinson, better known as Miss Nelly Hutchinson, is an intance of what a younc woman can do in journalism. For six years past she has been engaged in the editorial department of the New York Tribune, and, from the beginning of the Sunday Tribune, has been its editor in great part. She has long been known as a writer of lyrics and poems of merit, and she has made a volume of them, with the addition of some which have not before been published. Ever since the first head covering was in vented to adorn and protect feminine human nature (savs Mr. Labonchere) the cvnical and censorious among mankind have been liberal in gibes and scotts at their risters and wives. "Pirst, they find fault with the length of time "wasted'' in choosing a bon net; next with its shapo or trimmings; and then with the minutes employed in putting it on. But women know how important a thine a new bonnet is. They are aware of the influence of one color or another upon their complexions; of one shape c r another upon the outlines of their face?. Therefore they refuse to be swayed by the opinions of outsiders, and make a new bonnet or na; tne subject of deep thought, and the choosing of it a matter not to be decided upon in a hurry. What Mother Says. BY MRS. D. II. R. GOOD ALE. What mother says preaupposes'the home, and by home I mean not merely the center of physical life, but the home in its subtle entirety, as the nursery of the germs of moral and intellectual power, and e7en as the final test and arbiter of all institutions, laws and organizations. For all these depend upon the home, which is itself the highest yet the simplest, the purest, the most exaoting, the most steadfast, the most progressive of all man's institutions. For what is a home? It i3 our measure ol life. For the home we dip our cup in the Universe. Here we bring whatever we are able to assimilate. Here we hedife about with all the reserves of exclusive choice whatever we hold most dear. And for this home, real or but at dream, man take up all the burdens of aclive life, For this home the mother must speak. She is the central unit of the life there. The home in which she presides is the meeting place of the ideal and the real. We touch bottom in our constant care for the primi tive needs of humanity. With what jeal ous sol tude do we watch for the preparation of the food that is to become the Arm, sweet flesh of the growing girl, the milk and roses of the baby boy s cheek, but we aspire, also, to the highest Heaven in laying found ations of character for the children, ior whom we exptct the highet things. For them, what dreams can be too burn, too grea'? Shall they not begin where we end? I o these, to all the mother dispenses homely comfort, but not as forgetting higher cheer. For these young immortals need for their nourishment the verv btead of Heaven; and their demand so great, so righteous is also awfully immediate, for babies will not wait a single hour, but will crow straight on to men aDd women. The body can not stop for the soul, (live it bat its own food, and, whether mind and heart have theirs or not. in a few brief years the girl or the lad looks into your eyes with level glances, and Ood pity you if those eyei be full of reproach for possibilities ever roßt. From cares such as these the mother comes in everyday dress, with a faithful re gard, indeed, for all beauty and fitness, but without any studied ' adornment which would conflict with the greatest common usefulness. She asks freedom to speak, and even (provided it be always with a "sweet reasonableness' ) to spw;ak with some authority, as one who has studied social problems with the keenness of vital, practical in terest. In these talks nothing shall be tabooed Whatever forms a part of life enters in some way as a factor into the home and is subject to its verdict. Doubtless then, we shall find here the questions of the hour, as they arise, as well as those which specially affect the foundation of home-building and the arts of home-keeping. Truth is many-sided. In the atmosphere of the home wLich best suits things simple, sincere, essentially honest, and unpreten tious, we sometimes get a new aspect of grave affairs. Many an object of greedy pursuit, in the chase for wnich human lives, human hearts are recklessly sacrificed, looks in this cool light but a vulgar, worthless thing. Sometimes, contrariwise, the hope to which one would gladly devote life seems to the eager throng in the busy ways of the world too faint, too unreal to provoke any earnest struggle The spirit of the age, in these tumultuous days, strives with the same painful unrest for the intangible as for the tangible good. The passionate yearning to give help, the passionate study of all systems, all creeds, for vital strength and comfort for the sorsows and needs of humanity, is not less strong in woman's heart than in man's. Life is no longer less serious to woman than to man. She can not liva apart from its true realities. Why should she not bring to them her best attention, her quickest intelligence, her mother-wit? Whv should ehe hesitate to speak frankly of things of real import, or to seek to outline that view of truth which is gained from the impersonal yet characteristic outlook of the mother in the home? The Marriage Question. Pall Mall Gsiette. It is significant of the change which is fiassing over the European conceptions of ife and of morality that at the preseut moment nearly every Legislature in Europe is more or less preoccupied with the marriage question. In Hungary they have just legalized the marriage of Jews and Christians, and are discussing the introduction of obligatory civil marriage. In Denmark the Folkething has been discussing the remar.

riage of divorced persons. In Spain the Sagas ta Ministry ia busied about the reestablithment of civil marriages. M. N sequel's bill for legalizing divorce as de

feated a short ime azo by the rencn Chamber, which is now called upon to deal with proposals legalizing the marriage of broth-erf-in-law with their sisters in-law and the marriage of Priests. In Italy the divorce question has been brought before the Legis lature by a proposal to sanction divorce wben either the husband or the wife has been condemned to penal servitude forjlife, and to convert a legal separation into a divorce when three years, in the case of childless marriages, or five years, it there are children, have elapsed without a reconciliation after the judgment of separation was pronounced. By this proposal every ''sepa ration de corps' would ripen into a divorce by lapse of time. It will be inte sting to see how to drastic a proposal will be received by the Italian Chamber. Pleasantries Concerning Women. A maid, as by Court records doth appear, Whom fif y thousand dollars mads no dear, I nto her wan log Inner aternly aaid: "Forego the weed before wa go to wad. For tiuoks lake flame; I'll be that flame's triebt ftniier. To have your Anna, fire op your Hhiim." Tba wreirh, wlieu Ibua aha brought him to the scratch, Litbla cigar and threw away the match. Our mothers went thrice a year on solemn shopping; their daughters stay home from shopping just thrice a year that is, on na tional hoKuays. In the matrimonal market some choose the man without the riches, and others the riches without the man. In after life the former live in a flower garden and the latter in a hot-house. In Oshkosh lived a fair maiden who had read with some alarm of the death of an In diana woman from tight lacing, the imme diate cause being an affection of the epigas trium. When her lover called that even ing, and the light had been turmad down as usual, she said to him franklv: ''Now, I want you to be careful, Eugene; you're worse than a oorset." Eugene faltered out 'Oh, Mary, whv this coldness?" "It isn't coldness at all." she replied; "but you hug so tight you knock my epigastrium all out of kilter." The very latest, nicest little idea if for a young lady to decorate a minatore bellows and send it to her best gentleman friend. It signifies 'Don t mind your poverty; 1 will raise the wind. ew Haven ivegister. Girls are honest creatures. One at the South End. on being charged with the reck less extravaganco of having seventv-five dresses and with having nine fellows in love with her at once, was too honest to deny it. "Amantha," he murmured, with pathos in his voice, "why do you quiver at my touch? Why do you shrink from my embrace as the b tar tied fawn trembles at the rustling of the autumn leaves? "I've been vacci nated," she said. "Oh I shall die before you do," said a lady to M. Aloiandre Dumas a few days ago in Paris. "I tope not, madame.'L he replied, "I trust that I shall precede you. It is the only opportunity allowed a man of passing beiore a woman." Vanity of vanities: If a girl 'has pretty teeth she laughs often, if she's got a pretty foot she'll wear a short dress and if she's gota neat hand she's fond of a game of whist; and if the reverse she dislikes all of these small affairs. Unknown Solomon. Any one would sappos) that the employ mentof sewing was the most peaceful and quiet occupation in the wcrld, and yet it is absolutely horrifying to hear ladies talking about stilettos, bodkins, goring, cuttings, whippings, lacings, cutnngs and battings. 'l can't find a place inthecity to suit me,' despairingly remarked a house-hunting lady to her hueband, yesterday. Vby so, my dear?" "Why, because because well, if you must know, 1 can t find a mantel long enough for the crewel lambrequin 1 made la.-t winter. A youn lady at an Oshkosh temperance m-.vtiDg said: ' Brethren and sisters, cider is a necessity to me and I must have it. If it is decided that we ar not to drink cider, I shall eat apples and get some young man to squeeze me, lor I can't live without the j u ice of the apple." 'Let me see your tongue," said Dr. Calomel to Mrs. Jones. "For heaven's sake, doctor, what are you thinking of l" exclaimed Jones. 'I)ou't do it, love," he added appealingly to bis helpmeet, "it would be no curiosity with us, yu know," And then she gave him a piece of it. City belle (meeting country aunt): "Oh, I'm so glad to sea you! Come and see us uext week, do, for I'm going to have a Ger man on Thursday." Aunt (with severity): "Not I, child; I don't want to see any one of the family that's going to make a fool of herself by marrying a foreigner. ' They had been engaged for a long time, and one evening were reading the paper together. 'Look, love," he exclaimed, "only $15 for a suit of clothes!" Is it a wedding suit?" she asked, looking naively at her lover. "Oh, no," he answered; "it is a business suit." "Well, I meant business," she replied. He happened to press the foot of a young lady who was sitting next to the door in getting out of the 6treet car. The damsel, compressing her brow into an awe-inspiring Irown, ejaculated: "You clumsy wretch 1" "Mv dear young lady," he exclaimed, "you should have ieet large enough to be seen. ana iney woman t De troaaen upon. Iter brow relaxed, her eyes sparkled, her lips smnea, ana tne injury was iorgotten. An English widow became rather mixed by her grief, but when announcing the death of her husband she was not so mixed that she lost sight of the main question. "His virtues were beyond price, and his beaver hats were only seventeen shillings. He has left a widow and a largo stock to be sold cheap at the old stand. He was snatched to the other world just as he had concluded an extensive purchase of felt which he jot so cheap that his widow can sell hats a fraction less than any other house in London. Peace to his ashes; the business will be carried on as usual." IIOl'SEIIOLI KXOWLKIGE. Tamarind Whey. Two tablespeonfuls of tamarinds stirred into a pint of boiling milk and strained; a quarter of an ounce of cream of tartar may be similarly treated, and a little sugar candy added. This is a laxative. Asparagus Omelet. Uoil two pounds ot tender, fresh-cut asparagus in very little water, with a small portion of salt, or, what is better still, steam the asparagus without water until it is tender, chop it very fine, mix it with the yolks of five anl whites ot three well-beaten eggs and two tablespoonfuls of sweet cream; fry and serve quite hot. Ribbons which are very much soiled can be made clean and will look almost like new ones if washed in ammonia and water. Use half a teaspoonful cf ammonia to one pint of water. Some ribbons, after washing or sponging, do not need to be ironed, and in fact are injured by it. These should be fastened to a table or long ironing board, and, when perfectly smooth, let them alone until they are dry. If they are at all wrinkled when dry lay a cloth which is slightly damp over them and press with

hot iron. Black silk, if sponged with cold

coffee and ammonia, will be wonderfully freshened, use a nannel cioln to remove dust from silk. To Give Piki a Oak Color. Wash the wood carefully in a solution of cop peras dissolved in strong lye, in the proportion of a pound of copperas to a gallon of lye; when the wood is dry. after having been thus thoroughly saturated with the wash, oil it, and it will look nice for a year or two, wben it can be restained and again oiled. Often, when not subjected to hard usage, the color will remain undimmed for several years, only requiring to be oiled occasionally. The color may be put on with a shortbristled brush, or, the hands being pro tected with thick buckskin gloves, the wash may be applied with a cloth, which will saturate the wood more evenly. It will blister the hands if they are not well pro tected. To Make Crk vm Sai ce vor Piddixg. To make a bowlful of cream sauce take a piece of butter the size of a small egg and beat it up with powdered sugar until it is a light cream. U hen set it aside. Then into a small saucepan put a coffee-cupful of wa ter, and add it to a teaspoon ml of flour mixed in a little cold water. Cook this thoroughly until it is use ttnn starch. Then take up the butter and sugar mixture, and, while you are beating it energetically, let some one pour into it slowly and gradually the hot flour-sauce. If the beating it not stopped for a moment the whole sauce will rise and be foamy as sea froth. Flavor with wine, brandy or vanilla, as preferred. This is the best sauce made. Potato flour is sometimes used instead of wheat flour. Cultivating Water Lilies. Wehave several times suggested that those who are fond of the most beautiful water lily, or pond lily (Nympha?aodorata) as "who is not?" can cultivate it with verv little trouble. Those, who have hesitated to make the at tempt will be encouraged by the following account of its successful treatment by Miss Kuckman, of St. Joseph C-unty, Indiana. Miss R. writes: "We have a half hogshead in our yard which is sunk even with the ground. In the bottom is some of the soil taken from the bottom of a little lake where the water lilies grow. We put in several roots of the lily, tilled the barrel with water, and then awaited results. The next July we noticed seven small buds on the surface of the water; by the first of August the surface of the tub was a mass of beauty, the large white lilies being an attraction for the passer-by that could not be resisted. This was three years ago; each year there have been more flowers than in the previous Bummer. In the fall we throw a little manure in the tank, place some boards over the top, and with this little bit of trouble increase the beauty of our experiment, which has been a success." American Agri culturist. Ants. There is one way, and only one, of ridding the house, closets, cake pails, sugar barrels, etc., of red ants or black, big or little. When vou find them on vour premises get ready tea kettles of boiling water, plenty of it. Go out of doors, look carefully over the paths and walks, if in the country; if in the city, look over the nagging in the areas, both front and back Scald every little hole you see with a mound of little earth pellets around it; it is the home of the ant. On a sunny day these pellets are brought out of tne nests to dry When the weather is damp, or soon will be you will see nothing but little holes in the ground. The ants are all "at home.' Scald them. If your cellar is not cemcntod hunt the pests there; very likely you wil find lots of them. When the work here has been done, clean out your closets, sugar pails, everything thing in the closets, rub nre salt on the shelves, lay clean yellow paper on them, and put back dishe?. In the cracks of the floor and around the sur base of said closets should be placed ground red pepper. Ants will not come again for a long time. AN hen they again make a raid as they may in a few months, give them a second scalding. POPULAR SCIENCE. According to Mr. A. Ilenvuard, the water in which hemp has been steeped produces no evil effects on the health of a district when such water is allowed to flow into run ning water, but always destroys the fish and some varieties of vegetable growth. Two egg of the extinct great ank were recently sold bv auction in Edinburgh both being purchased by Lord Lilford one at JLltX), the other at 1U2 guineas probably the larger t sum ever paid lor a single egg, with the exception ot that of the moa, a specimen of which was sold at the same place in 1M5 for 200. Ivory is readily rendered quite flexible' by immersion in a solution of pure phos phoric acid (specific gravity 1.13) until it loses, or partly loses, its opacity, when it is washed in clean cold water and dried. In this state it is as flexible as leather, but gradually hardens by exposure to dry air. Immersion in hot water, however, restores i.s softness and pliancy. The following method may also be emyloyed: Put the ivory to soak in three ounces nitric acid mixed with fifteen ounces water. In three or four days the ivory will be soft. A curiousexperiment in heat ia performed with an apparatus devised by Dr. Grassi. The apparatus consists of three concentric vessels separated by annular spaces of about three-fourths of an inch, The outer space is filled with oil and the inner with water. The oil is heated to a point above 212 Fahrenheit, when the water begins to boil. Oil heated to "00 is then introduced into the central vessel, and falls rapidly to a temperature about that of the boiling water. Dr. Grassi finds that this central oil cools the more quickly tne greater the heat of the outer ring of oil a result seemingly very paradoxical. Speaking of the formation of mountains, Professor Favre, of Geneva, has said that the three systems which account for the origin of mountains do not difl'er greatly from each other. Those who admit the system of elevations as the principal cause would probably admit the formation of depressions as n secondary cause, while those who give de pression the first place would also admit ele vation as a seconaary factor. Lastly, in the system ol lateral crushing tbere is a general depression of the earth, since tbere is a diminution in the length of the radius of the globe, and yet there result elevations of the ground in the midst of this general depres sion. Experiments made by M. Leloutre on the transmission ot power by belting, disclose a curious fact, namely, that while the elongation or successive increments of length become less and less up to a certain load, they then become greater and greater, showing a point of maximum power or resistance which is then followed by a falling off. After this decline of resistance the elongation again becomes less rapid up to the breaking strain, on approaching which the resistance ia generally greater. Practically, in the case of ordinary leather, the maxi mum resistance to stretching is met with at a strain of about 850 pounds per square inch, while in India rubber and webbing it occurs at rather a lower strain, the fact appearing therefore that the working strain on a belt should be fixed as near as possible to that at which the maximum resistance to stretching is known to occur.
